Traffic Diversion, Temporary Lane Closure On Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway

JM Land Berhad (IJM Land) has announced a temporary lane closure and traffic diversion on the Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway, affecting the Bayan Lepas-bound route from September 9 to 11, and the George Town-bound route on September 12, Bernama has reported.
"This closure is necessary to facilitate infrastructure works for road widening on the expressway and the building of an elevated intersection connecting to The Light Waterfront Penang.

"These development improvements are essential for supporting traffic capacity and enhancing road network connectivity," it said in a statement on Thursday (Sept 5).

IJM Land will implement a traffic management plan during the construction period and make adjustments to mitigate the impact of the planned works in order to better manage traffic flows during the lane closure.

The statement added that any temporary lane closures and traffic detours would take place between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. during off-peak hours.
